A mysterious beauty, a destiny set in the stars. Born under an inauspicious sign, young Ismeni is feared by her own people. The single thing she prays for: to live an invisible life.

A story of love, passion, and twists of fate through the eyes of the woman who will one day give birth to the legendary Queen of Sheba.

Wow. Heart-wrenching and intriguing in one fell swoop, with an aching kind of beauty to it.

Yes, this short read is all the more significant if you’re familiar with the biblical story of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Secondly, it makes all the more sense if you’ve heard of the renowned wisdom of Solomon. Thirdly, it’s more than good to know that Ismeni is the coming Queen of Sheba’s mother.

And if I’ve ever read a compelling and ideal setup for a related novel, this is it.
